Police have arrested a 21-year-old Vancouver man following a shooting that took place in South Vancouver on Wednesday and left another man with serious injuries.

Jaspal Dhillon has been charged with possession of a firearm, aggravated assault, discharging a firearm with intent, and using a firearm for the purpose of an indictable offense, Vancouver police said Saturday. 

Police responded to a call from a man who said he had been shot just before 9:45 p.m. on July 22, near East 53rd Avenue and Sophia Street in the city's Sunset neighbourhood. The shooting sent the 33-year-old victim to hospital, where he remains with non-life-threatening injuries.

Dhillon is currently in custody at the Vancouver jail, police say. 

Earlier this week, Vancouver police said the incident appeared to be targeted.
